Abstract

Developments in company law in many cases have a significant impact on the interests of employees and their representatives. This article gives an overview of the implications of the 14 European directives and draft directives in this area. It also takes a closer look at the 13th Directive on public takeover bids, and goes on to examine developments in the field of corporate governance. What is the place for the workers in the current debate and the various codes of behaviour that have come into being? From the employee viewpoint the developments appear to be ambiguous. On the one hand, there are signs that employees are no longer regarded as serious stakeholders in the company. On the other, the 13th Directive, the proposed Tenth Directive on cross-border mergers, the SE (European Company) Directive on employee participation and other instruments make clear provision for participation by employee representatives.
